To Those VINO Have Their Mail
Delivered.

AT the request Of the Postmaster, and
for tbs good of all concerned, persons who
take advantage of the free mail delivery
are advised of the necessity of preparing a
box or other suitable receptacle for mail
at the front doors of their residences.
The carriers have considerable trouble and
Inconvenience when making their rounds
early in the morning. because Of not fna-
ing persons to receive the mail. A little
care IN this matter will greatly facilitate
the delivering of mail land it Is hoped it will
be exercised. Carriers cannot be expec-
ted to 60 over the same ground twice fer
Que delivery.
Persons should also give the names and
numbers OF the streets on which they live,
when writing, so that their mail may be
properly addressed to them. Attention
to these matters will assist the carriers
and insure more prompt delivery.

ORIGIN of sIanting Roo fs.


To find the source from which the Eu-
ropean nations have derived the art of
building in stone, we must look to the
land of the Pharaohs. From Egypt the
craft passed to Greece, and from the
Greeks it was taken up by the Romans, to
be by them disseminated through the
north and west of Europe in the process
of colonization. The similarity, in re-
gard to the constructive parts Of the an
cient Greek buildings to some of those
found in Egypt OF older date, affords
strong confirmation of the tradition that
the Greeks borrowed the art from the
Egyptians. The Greeks, however, in
adopting it, added a new feature, the
pediment, and the reason for this addl-
ton is easy to find. Egypt is practically
rainless. All the protection from the
climate required in a palace or temple in
such a country is shelter from the sun by
day and from the cold by night, and for
this fiat roof, supported by walls, or
pillars with arcitraves, is quite sufficient;
but when, as in all European countries,
rain has to be taken into account, a slant
ing roof becomes u necessity.
The Greeks, with their eye for SYM
metry, provided for this by forming the
roof with a central ridge, at an obtuse
angle from which it sloped down equally
on either side. The triangular space thus
formed at the end of the building, above
the architrave, was occupied by the pedi-
ment, and this part of the facade, which
owed its birth to the exigencies of CHI
mate was thenceforth regarded as so es-
sential to the artistic completeness of the
work that it was said that if a temple
were to be erected in the celestial regions,
where rain would not be possible, the ped
nlent could not be omitted.-PopuIar

he had letter from the king of Greece,
who wanted him to come and fix his teeth
for him. He told me that he could not
go, as the expense of travelling so far
would eat up the profits. He said in 60
ing from court to court as a sort of timer
ant kings dentist, he only made tours
when he could lay them cut so as to bring
a number of courts in one trip. This
practice paid very well, for, in addition
to the immense fee which DR.. Evans
charged, he was given presents of dia-
mOnds and other things of great value.
Among mis- presents were diamond stud
ded snuff boxes, fine rings, diamond pins,
and furs which were almost worth their
weight i'll gold. His house in Paris is
filled with beautiful souvenirs, and he
has presents from AL the kings from the
